Abstract:
This paper reports the nursing care of 12 patients with idiopathic scoliosis treated with halo-pelvic traction preoperatively which focused on breathing training, traction frame management. One patient suffered from temporary brachial plexus injury and four cases suffered from superior mesenteric artery syndrome. With 14-21 day's traction and nursing care, the correction rate of Cobb angle was 35%-50%,the forced vital capacity was improved by 25%,and all the patients received orthomorphia surgery in time. It is suggested that the patients with severe idiopathic scoliosis treated by halo-pelvic traction could take out-of-bed activity freely. It could not only relieve pain and reduce mental pressure, but also improve the safety of orthomorphia surgery.
